Robert Cardinal Sarah

Unless silence dwells in man, and unless solitude is a state in which he allows himself to be shaped, the creature is deprived of God. There is no place on earth where God is more present than in the human heart. This heart truly is God’s abode, the temple of silence.”

(From The Power of Silence)



St. Thomas Aquinas, O.P.

We don’t study just for the sake of knowledge. We study because we desire to know the truth. And the truth is a person. The Truth is God.





St. Francis de Sales

“Be not of those who think perfection consists in undertaking many things, but of those who place it in doing well what little they do. For it is better to do little and do it well, than to undertake much and do it ill. Yes, little and good, this is the best.  

(From Introduction to the Devout Life

"Eternal Father, all things are possible for You. Although You created us without our assistance, You will not save us unless we help. Therefore, I pray You re-create their wills so that they wish for what they do not wish for: I ask this of Your infinite mercy. You have created us out of nothing. Now that we exist have mercy on us. Re-make the vessel which You created in Your own image and likeness. Bring them back to Your grace through the grace and blood of You Son, the beloved Jesus Christ."
